Last night, my boyfriend, friend, and I were relaxing on our enclosed patio when something odd caught our eye.
My boyfriend was looking out the window and noticed a reflection of red flashing lights. Moments later, we heard sirens and assumed they came from emergency vehicles in our busy urban area. But when I glanced at the window, I realized the red lights were not reflections—they were illuminated in the sky.
We saw about ten pairs of round, red lights moving in a perfectly straight line, heading northwest (or so it seemed). They were far brighter than anything I’d ever seen from a drone. Given their apparent distance, they appeared too large and intense for any small object. Just as quickly as they appeared, they disappeared behind a tree.
It’s possible that these lights were from a single, very large object, or perhaps each pair belonged to individual objects flying in formation.
We barely had time to process what we witnessed when my boyfriend pointed out something else: two white circular lights emerged from the same direction where the red lights had vanished. These white lights moved swiftly—similar to an airplane—but their flashing pattern was notably different. They had a bright, perfectly circular shape and flashed in an alternating manner that didn’t align with standard aircraft navigation lights.
We started recording, though capturing clear footage was challenging. Still, the video reveals the circular shape and unique flashing pattern of the lights.
As the white lights moved farther away, they maintained their brightness, as if their intensity didn’t decrease with distance. Eventually, they too disappeared behind a tree, and we lost track of them.
After exploring this subreddit, I checked Starlink satellite launches and can confidently say that’s not what we witnessed.
Has anyone else experienced something similar?
That sounds like a fascinating experience! The combination of those red and white lights you witnessed certainly isn’t something you come across every day. It’s interesting how your first instinct was to think it was emergency vehicle lights, but it quickly became clear that it was something different.
The description of the red lights moving in a perfect straight line is intriguing, and while many will naturally think of drones or aircraft, the fact that they seemed too large and bright adds a layer of mystery. As for the white lights, their flashing pattern differing from typical navigation lights suggests they could be something out of the ordinary, too.
It’s great that you were able to capture some footage, even if it was challenging. Sharing that with others might help get more eyes on what you saw. Have you considered reaching out to local news stations or UFO investigative groups? It might be worth seeing if anyone else in the area witnessed the same phenomena around that time.
And just to note, keep an eye on this subreddit and similar platforms to see if anyone else shares their sightings; it can sometimes lead to interesting discussions or even explanations. Thanks for sharing your experience—definitely not something you forget anytime soon!
